Comments about this page

Paula & Bill’s talk reminded me of my childhood, between the ages of 18months and 21 years I lived in Bythe Mount, also one of the cul-de-sacs off Broadwater Road. We called these cul-de-sacs “Courts” Creswick Court, Goblins Green, Edgars Court, Athelstan Walk. So many memories, the difficult years before the war, the war years, the VE and VJ parties, girls from neighbouring houses walking out in their wedding dresses to the cars to take them to church and everyone in “The Court” standing on their steps watching them.
